(AP The British offensive in Libya is resulting in intensified Ger man pressure on France for air bases and routes of supply and reinforcement to withstand the drive, sources in Europe inform ed the Associated Press today. The upshot may be that the Vichy government of Marshal Petain will be given a formal peace settlement to replace the uneasy armistice which has reg ulated their relations since June, 1940. In return, Germany would ex pect sweeping concessions in North Africa which would be useful in fighting the British drive. The authorized report from Vichy today that Marshal Petain is going to the German-occupied zone of France soon to meet a . "high German personage." per haps Adolf Hitler, strengthened the opinion of many European observers that formal adherence of the Vichy government to the so-called new order probably will be announced before long.) Phoenix, Ariz., Nov. 22. VP) A young man appeared at the door of Wixie Cross' service sta tion early today in near freezing weather. "Can I come in and warm my self?" he asked. "Sure," laid the obliging Cross. Twenty minutes later, appar ently thawed out, the stranger confronted Cross with, a pistol. "I'll take what you have in that cash register," he an nounced. Cross again obliged, this time with $46. NAZIS BRIEF ON AFRICAN BATTLE Berlin, Nov. 22. IIP) A Ger man high command communi que gave one paragraph today to the fighting in north Africa. "In north Africa, German and Italian troops since Nov. 19 have been engaged in a severe battle on a broad front with strong British tank units," the commu nique said. "The battle con tinues." Informed sources said German bombers effectively attacked a railway line and damaged sta tion buildings on the north African battlefront Similar raids were reported on British supply dumps, which these sources declared were raked by machine-guns from planes. - Night attacks were made on two southeastern English air bases where hangars were said to have been set afire. (The British acknowledged that "a few bombs were dropped in southwest England and Wales, causing little damage and a small number of casualties.)

E OF FLU, ISOLATED, PHOTOGRAPHED Philadelphia, Nov. 22 An incredibly small and deadly bullet-shaped molecule, only lour-milllonths of an inch thick, has been branded as the cause of one of the miseries of man kind, human influenza. Its isolation and Its picture,' taken by the new electron microscope, were discribed to day to the American Philosoph ical society. Magnified 25.000 diameters until it shows up as a very tiny grey dot on a photograph, the picture is of a deadly speci men taken from the flu infec tion which killed a person here three years ago. It is moreover the tame kind of flu type A which spread over the country last winter. This molecule, a small bit of protein, is one of the tiniest disease agents known to science. One of the most startling things to the layman and of profound significance to medicine about this flu bullet Is that it is not a living thing like microbes. It is able to reproduce Itself, when in living tissue, but that seems to be more of a chemical reaction than a sign of actual life. The discovery has opened a new way to make vaccines against human flu. A new vac cine has already been made which protects animals against human flu, and experiments are now starting to learn whether it will protect man. The report was made by Doctors Leslie A. Chambers and Werner Henle, of the Eldridge Reeves Johnson Rjsearch foun dation, University of Penntyl vania. Collaborating in the pic ture was Dr. T. F. Anderson of R. C. A., makers of the electron microscope. Washington, Nov. 22. (APV Representative Jones CR-Ohlo) said today he had drafted a bill proposing that the 1942 congres sional election be held in March instead of November. A March election, he contend ed, would afford a desirable ear ly expression by the) electorate on President Roosevelt's foreign policies. Under his proposal, the repre sentatives elected in March would take their teats the fol lowing January. ANIMALS FEED ON Oh Mall mouiie mmxxx ada.

I V " ' IN COAST RIVERS Wheeler. Ore., Nov. 22. (IP) Wild animals flocked to coastal streams near here today as the largest run of chum salmon in decades continued up Oregon rivers. The fish ftiirffY linctrpnm in such numbers that hundreds were forced onto the river hank. Senffiill ffnrfferi them. selves almost to insensibility. Mink and otter joined in the feast. Fishermen from Tillamook bay to the Alsea river, market ing the once-despised chum at an unexpected 314 cents a pound, added to a record catch. Already the run has turned a poor season into the most profit able in years. The chum is at the bottom of the salmon caste. A white meated fish, averaging 10 pounds in weight, it once was consid ered too untasty for man. It now is canned and smoked, but until this year the fisherman's profit, if any, was meager. Fishermen report another benefit. Rats have deserted coastal wharves and can be seen following the salmon upriver for miles. It is feared, however, the rats will return. Bears, expert fishermen them selves, are getting fat and lazy. since they no longer have to scoop fish from the water. They merely wait on the bank until dinner is forced ashore. Seattle, Nov. 22.
